View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter shows how different readings of Gregory's On Virginity have been generated by different assumptions about what he means by virginity. Most agree that he is not disgusted by sexual activity in itself, but there is considerable disagreement about what Gregory is rejecting. Topics discussed include virginity defined by the body, virginity defined socially and spiritually, and the virgin body.
